Dover Fire and Rescue urges
property owners to check roofs for
excessive snow
After recent storms left significant snowfall in Dover, and
with wet, heavy snow expected this weekend, Dover Fire
Chief Richard Driscoll reminds residents to check their
roofs for excessive snow. Roofs with heavy snow can be at
risk of collapsing.
Planning Board, Feb. 24,

The Planning Board will hold a
regular meeting on Tuesday,

"The snow expected this weekend will be heavier and
wetter than what we've seen this winter," Driscoll said.
"Because the snow may also be accompanied by some
rain, roofs may be at greater risk as the weight of
accumulated snow and ice increases."
Driscoll recommends clearing snow from a roof if more than
two feet has accumulated. For those not able or
uncomfortable removing snow, Driscoll suggests consulting
with a roofing company or properly insured contractor.
Some other tips include:
Keep all chimneys and vents clear to prevent carbon
monoxide from backing up into the building. Some
vents, such as pellet stove vents, may exit the
building through a wall and are susceptible to being
blocked by excessive snow buildup on the outside of
the building;
Keep all exits clear of snow, so that occupants can
escape quickly if a fire, or other emergency, should
occur. Keep in mind that windows should be cleared
to allow a secondary means of escape in case the
primary means of escape is blocked by fire. Keeping
exits clear also allows emergency workers to access
your building.
A roof may collapse with little or no warning, Driscoll added,
and one common misconception is that only flat roofs are
susceptible to collapse. High roof parapets can accumulate
significant drifting snow, especially during wind events. The
following warning signs could indicate a roof is in danger of
collapsing:
Sagging roof steel ­ visually deformed;
Severe or new roof leaks;
Cracked or split wood members;
Bends or ripples in metal supports;
Recent cracks in walls, drywall or masonry;
Cracks in welds of steel construction;
Sheared off screws from steel frames;
Sprinkler heads pushed down below ceiling tiles;

Doors that pop open;

Creaking, cracking or popping sounds.
City Hall hours:
Driscoll said property owners should also check roof drains
and gutters and make sure they are clear of snow and ice.
Recycling Center hours:
Motorists should also use caution, Driscoll said, as storm
drains may also be covered with snow and ice, obstructing
drainage and causing water to pool on or near roadways. If
possible, residents are asked to help shovel street drains
and fire hydrants.

topic of upcoming public hearing
The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the
proposed Land Use Analysis Chapter of the Dover Master
Plan on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m., at City Hall. This
follows an earlier Planning Board workshop to review the
recently completed chapter. To help develop land use considerations for Dover, the
Planning Board established a steering committee to
oversee the effort. The committee worked with Steven
Whitman of Jeff Taylor and Associates, a consultant to the
project. "It was clear to me from the start that the steering
committee wanted this chapter to reflect Dover's current
state and a possible future that is derived from the vision
chapter adopted in 2012," said Steve Bird, City Planner for
Dover, who served as the staff liaison to the committee. The land use chapter is required by state statute and gives
shape to the community's vision, including input from the
Dover 2023 sessions. The committee titled the chapter, "It's
About Tomorrow." The theme of the chapter is to
recommend land uses that are a good fit for Dover when
the City celebrates its 400th anniversary. "The new document includes the most recent data available
concerning housing, job growth, natural resources,
transportation and economic development, all of which
have an impact on land use within the city," said Jerry
Reese, Land Use Steering Committee Chair. "As with the
last land use document, it is the hope of the committee that
this document will be a useful tool and guideline for the next
seven to 10 years." The Land Use Analysis Chapter studies demographic
trends, economic activity, and natural resources. The
chapter reviews existing conditions and the proposed
locations, extent, and intensity of future land use. After the
chapter documents these conditions, it provides an
analysis, and designates a future land map. This map
depicts the general locations, types, and intensity of the
community's future land use. Finally, the chapter contains
recommendations for the following areas:
Land Use
Economic Development
Housing
Energy
Like the vision chapter, the land use sections form the
backbone of Dover's Master Plan. A master plan guides the
long­term physical development for a community. Similar to
a business which periodically reviews its strategic plan,
Dover reviews its Master Plan every five to 10 years. Each
review has a 10­ to 20­year horizon.
The Planning Department believes that because of public
participation and numerous opportunities for public input,
the vision is reflective of the community's. Based upon that
importance, the Land Use Analysis Chapter will not just sit
on the shelf. The chapter takes the visions laid out and
begins to identify recommendations to put thought into
action. The Land Use Analysis Chapter is available for viewing on
the Planning Department's website here. Copies are also available at the Planning Department and
Public Library. For more information or to get involved with the project,
please contact City Planner Steve Bird at 603­516­6008 or
[email protected].

Public Library kick off with a Legos Day in the Children's
Room on Saturday, Feb. 21. Legos will be available all day
for creative fun, plus Gordon Lubbers, owner of Bricks 4
Kidz, will be here from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with specially
engineered Lego motorized model kits and instructions. At

of "Disneynature: Earth" at 2 p.m. This epic adventure
follows three animal families: polar bears, elephants, and
humpback whales, on a planet­wide journey. That evening
at 6:30 p.m., girls in grades 3­6 are invited to join our STEM
program. Miss Rachel, an engineer, will lead participants in
building simple structural designs that are amazingly sturdy.
Females are underrepresented in the science, technology,
engineering and math fields and Miss Rachel hopes to help
change that. Of course, boys are welcome to attend too.
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, join us for a fascinating program
about Marine Mammals by docents from UNH's Sea Grant
Sea Trek Program. A 2 p.m. session is tailored for pre­K to
second graders and a 3 p.m. session will welcome third
graders and up. If families want to be in the same time
session, that's fine too ­­ our goal is to keep the activities to
small groups. The docents will illustrate the characteristics
and physical and behavioral adaptations of a variety of
marine mammals. Through hands­on activities, children will
then explore the similarities and differences between
marine and land mammals, and the special adaptations that
allow for finding food, breathing, and staying warm in the
Atlantic sea water. On Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 10 a.m., Miss Tina will conduct
a winter wildlife­themed drop­in story time in the Lecture
Hall. All ages are welcome to attend.
On Thursday, Feb. 25, the Seacoast Science Center's
Marine Mammal Rescue Team will be here at 2 p.m. to talk
about their efforts to help stranded, injured or diseased
seals, whales, porpoises and dolphins along the NH
seacoast. Their "Save a Seal" program will help children
learn about native Gulf of Maine species and what to do if
they spot an animal washed up on a beach. After
performing a mock rescue, children will earn a special "Seal
of Approval" for participating.
On Friday, Feb. 27, educators from York's Center for
Wildlife will be at the library at 10 a.m. presenting their new
program, "Winter Wildlife Adaptations". Their animal
assistants will include an assortment of live raptors, reptiles
and mammals, so be prepared to be amazed and see some
local wildlife up close.
All week long, children of all ages are invited to make a
"Polar Bear" at the Creation Station in the Children's
Room. All materials will be provided. Wrapping up Wildlife Week will be a showing of "Big Hero
6" (PG; 1 hour, 22 minutes) on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m.
in the Lecture Hall. None of the library's School Vacation
Week programs require pre­registration and each program
is offered for free. For more information on any of these programs, please call
the Dover Public Library's Children's Room at 603­516­
6052.

John Lovewell and his men, at the pond in Wakefield which
has ever since gone by his name took (Lovell Lake) place at
this time. On the 24th, the brave company with the scalps of
the enemy ten in number, stretched on hoops, and elevated
on poles, entered Dover in triumph, and proceeded thence
to Boston, where they received the bounty of 100 pounds
for each scalp. Feb. 22, 1754 ­ Petitions for a new parish in Dover, by the
name of Somersworth, were presented again this year, and
the Assembly appointed a committee "to take a view of
such part of Dover as may be necessary in order to judge
whether the prayer of the petition ought to be granted or
not, and make report thereof as soon as may be, the
petitioners to be at the cost and charge thereof."
Feb. 21, 1843 ­ Died, Nathaniel W. Ela, aged 77, for nearly
half a century the keeper of a well­known hotel (Ela's
Tavern) on the Landing.
Feb. 26, 1864 ­ Sarah Low of Dover, serving as a nurse
during the Civil War, writes: "On Monday morning at 9
o'clock Mr. Hall, (Daniel Hall, Clerk of the Senate
Committee on Naval affairs, later Captain, Major and
Colonel) Miss Lowell and I accompanied by a soldier,
carrying a carpet bag and valise, left Armory Square
Hospital and turned our steps toward the station. The cars
marked military railroad­U.S. and the guard at each car
made us realize where we were going. It took some time to
show our passes and get them approved to establish
ourselves. We were to spend 2 nights near the front as
guests at the Headquarters of the 2nd Corps. It may seem
strange to those at a distance that they should wish to have
a party when the time for a battle cannot be a great way off,
but when we were there it seemed rather as if they had
invited their friend for the sake of seeing them once more. It
took about six hours to reach our destination by train. From
Washington we went through Alexandria, Manassas,
crossed Bull Run and on to Rappahanach station. Four
miles further we stopped at Brandy, and rode by
ambulance 4 miles further still over recently made roads to
the 2nd Corps Head quarters, surrounded by officers and
soldiers on horse back galloping in every direction. There
were parties of soldiers who had come from neighboring
camps to see the arrival of this large group. I wish you
could have seen the party leave the station. It was the
gayest scene of confusion I have ever seen. Along the
route we saw the remains of long train that had been burnt,
some by rebels and some by the union men. The ground
near the train was burned black. We could see from the
train the house where Beauregard had his head quarters.
We passed miles of bent rails taken up by the rebel in
Meade's retreat last autumn. On we went through fenceless
country that would have seemed an uninteresting plain if it
had not been for the associations connected with it and the
remembrances of the weary feet that passed over it. We
saw an unburied horse lying on the ground and sometimes
a half eaten one and multitudes of carrion (carcass) fed
crows, We could see regiments encamped on every little
hill. On arriving at camp we were received by Captain
(Andrew) Young and Colonel Batchelder. Their quarters
were made available to us and other guests and a new tent
was pitched for them. The landscape with rolling hills was
beautiful. The whole encampment was extremely neat and
attractive with fences and roads that were kept swept 3
times a day. The house we stayed in was a queer one and
probably the house of a negro overseer. Everything looked
comfortable and pleasant. A bedstead had been made for
us after our arrival, two bales of new blankets opened,
straw was put on the bedstead, then blankets and blankets
for pillows and covering. We had dinner after looking after
the mules and horses then went in to dress for the party
that evening, Five of us dressed in one room. The hall was
decorated with regimental flags. Some of which were in
shreds and some very brilliant new ones belonging to
regiments just returned from furlough. The party was the
greatest occasion and I had one of the best times I ever
had. There are very few line officers here, they are most all
generals with their staffs. General Meade, General Berry
and Generals Sedgewick, Wright, Humphreys and Webb.
We saw nearly all the Generals of the Army of the
Potomac. General Kilpatrick is as ill looking a man as I ever
saw. We watched a long conversation between Meade and
Kilpatrick as they stood apart from all others. They were
evidently describing movements. The next day Miss Lowell,
Lucy (Hale), Captain Young, Mr. Hall and I accompanied by
the medical director of the corps went to visit the Corps
hospital. They could take such good care of the men that
they had not sent up those wounded at Mine Run 2 or 3
weeks ago. We then drove off to the review which was held
several miles distance, in Stevenburg. As we were riding to
review a soldier rushed out from some quarters and caught
hold of our ambulance. He proved to be an old patient of
mine. He got up and rode some way with us. We could see
on the hills where the rebels were encamped. With a spy
glass you could see their earth works and camps. They said
that the rebels had undoubtedly seen the review that day.
General Meade reviewed the corps. The Generals and
ladies and gentlemen rode on horseback all along the line,
in front then in the rear. Vice president Hamlin seemed to
be taking a nap on his horse. We were very much
entertained with his dancing the night before. "When we
returned (from the review) we soon had dinner, after which
Miss Lowell, Lucy and I walked off to call on the 20th
Regiment. Miss Lowell's brother, Colonel James, belonged
to this regiment. In the evening we had several callers and
at a late hour went to bed wondering if there would not be a
raid and thinking as the canvas of the tents flopped in the
wind that perhaps rebels had come." The next morning
Miss Lowell and I got up at 6.30 and took an ambulance to
the train with Mr. Hall at 8 to return to Washington. Captain
Young and Colonel Batchelder had done everything to
make our visit pleasant." (Dover Public Library)
